DESCRIPTION:
Hrd"An Entertaining Read" according to Hrd2Spt. I thought the biography was well written and kept my interest. I would suggest having access to the internet while reading it since you will be tempted as I was to put the book down and listen to the singers, musicians and Rolling Stones songs cited in the work. This would be particularly true of someone not familiar with the music or artists cited by Richards. James Fox was listed as a 'contributor' to the book. I do not know it contributor equals ghost writer but if it was a biography using a ghost writer to fill in, structure or edit the work, it was done very well. I found myself wondering who wrote what and if you told me Rich. Spt said An Entertaining Read. I thought the biography was well written and kept my interest.

The only thing that bothered me was Mr Richards's lack of insight into how his drug a use impacted those around him especially, Mick Jagger. I can't imagine what it was like for Jagger to watch his friend turn into a junkie. Typical of an addict who gets better, Mr Richards expected those around jim to fall in line when he finally des idea to quit. "Here i am, I'm better and I expect to be treated with respect!" I love Keith, but he needs to have empathy for his old friend. I don't doubt thati Mick is a handful, but he was probably s scared s***less that Keith was going to di. "I really enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone who" according to Chris D. I couldn't put this book down! Keith bares all in this book, his soul, his life,loves and passions. You want to know everything there is to know about Keith Richards? Well this is the book for you! To add an extra layer tot eh reading experience I made sure to play music that was referenced int he book while I read. It definitely opened my eyes up to many more musicians including more of the Stones' catalog that I never bothered with before. If you are a Stones fan or just want to know more about the man the myth and the legend that is Keith Richards, don't hesitate. If you are a hardcore fan of the Stones and of Keith some of this
A true and towering original, he has always walked his own path, spoken his mind, and done things his own way. Arrested and imprisoned for drug possession. Read by Johnny Depp with Joe Hurley and featuring Keith Richards.. In a voice that is uniquely and unmistakably him - part growl, part laugh - Keith Richards brings us the truest rock-and-roll life of our times, unfettered and fearless and true. Ever-increasing fame, isolation, and addiction, making life an ever faster frenzy. Through it all, Richards remained devoted to the music of the band, until even that was challenged by Mick Jagger's attempt at a solo career, leading to a decade of conflicts and ultimately the biggest reunion tour in history. Finding fame and success as a bad-boy band, only to find themselves challenged by authorities everywhere. Dropping his guitar's sixth string to create a new sound that allowed him to create immortal riffs like those in "Honky Tonk Woman" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash". Now at last, Richards pauses to tell his story in the most anticipated autobiography in decades. And what a story! Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records in a coldwater flat with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, building a sound and a band out of music they loved. Tax exile in France
